The Federal law enforcement agency was to enforce the national prohibition act of 1919, commonly as the Volstead act, which back up the 18 amendment to the United States Constitution.
The Bureau of Prohibition’s main function was to mostly stop the selling and consumption of alcohol. Agents would be tasked with taking down illegal bootlegging rings and became notorious in cities like New York City and Chicago for raiding many popular nightclubs. Agents were often paid low wages and the Bureau was notorious for allowing many uncertified people to become agents and Special officers.
